1983 was a banner
year for the Philippines at the SEA Games held in Singapore—and ace athletes
like trackster Lydia de Vega, swimmer Christine Jacob, and Asia’s junior tennis
champion, Felix Barrientos were in topnotch form (in 7 years, Barrientos will
win gold at the SEA games). No wonder, DOLE Pineapple Juice contracted them,
assembled a powerhouse cast that included PBA player, Abe King and tour of
Luzon champion cyclist, Jose Sumalde, for
this color print ad.
